#color(blue)("STP"#
STP is currently #0^@"C"# or #"273.15 K"#, which are equal, though the Kelvin temperature scale is used for gas laws; and pressure is #"10"^5color(white)(.)"Pascals (Pa)"#, but most people use #"100 kPa"#, which is equal to #10^5color(white)(.)"Pa"#.
You will use the ideal gas law to answer this question. Its formula is:
#PV=nRT#,
where #P# is pressure, #V# is volume, #n# is moles, #R# is a gas constant, and #T# is temperature in Kelvins.
#color(blue)("Determine moles"#
You may have noticed that the equation requires moles #(n)#, but you have been given the mass of #"CO"_2"#. To determine moles, you multiply the given mass by the inverse of the molar mass of #"CO"_2"#, which is #"44.009 g/mol"#.
